Hello Gandhi Collectors,
After all my research in Gandhi Philately for 3 years I am still confused what is REAL and what is ERROR.
Reason for this confusion is that too many Gandhi Stamps from smaller countries issued in 1967 -1980 to just make money from it instead really honoring Mahatma Gandhi.
Look at following FDC issued on 3-May-1980 with Nicaragua Gandhi Stamp and think why lot of combination on one stamp.?
I am not sure why it was withdrawn. Look like this Miniature sheet was on 100th Birth Anniversary of Einstein (14-March-1879) and International Year of Child. Also it has 1980 Olympic Rings (Olympic event in Moscow) , Mahatma Gandhi (not sure why.!) and Tajmahal.
Not sure stamp sheet issued to celebrate what or honored whom?
1) Einstein or Gandhi?
2) Physics lab or Tajmahal?
3) 1980 Olympics or 1979 International Child Year.?
Not sure what is all related but they did it. (Without thinking or with deep thinking, how all combination make sense). With this many combination they also did ERROR in this sheet. Not sure whether it was genuine error or deliberately did this and withdraw from circulation.!! (but still available in large quantities.!!).
Also not sure what is ERROR?
1) Einstein or Gandhi one of them should be on stamp?
2) It should either have Physics lab or Tajmahal?
3) It should either have 1980 Olympics Rings or 1979 Int. Child Year.?
4) Date of Issue is error?
NOT SURE WHY THEY NEED THIS MINIATURE SHEET IN 1979-1980. IT IS A VERY SMALL COUNTRIES(97th in world) AND POPULATION IS ALSO AROUND 6 MILLION IN 2010.(133rd in world) |
If you know how whole stamp printing procedure is, then you will be aware of how many persons/departments are involved in this whole process. It starts with Designer, Art Director, Typographer, Modeler, Engraver and Proof Reader. Also multiple SPECIMEN copies are send to various postal administrators and also send to various government bodies, philatelic magazines etc.
Do you think all this people did not see ERROR at all or there is no error at all and it was withdraw or even it was printed officially by Nicaraguan Government !! ?
I leave this upto you to decide whether this is ERROR stamp sheet or GENUINE stamp sheet or it is a FAKE ERROR stamp sheet or this was REALLY ISSUED in 1979 or 1980.!!
This all combination were famous during 1980 and they did it with style.!! by making it error then withdraw it from market and make it RARE.!!!
After all this consideration I am not sure what to tell about this stamp sheet.!!
BTW: This FDC was sold for more than 100$.!!
Even you can find literally FAKE FDC (Do It Yourself). If you are interested to see then please click this link to see.
After looking above link you will be confused too and will start thinking which one is REAL FDC, this one or other one.!!!
Or BOTH.!!
It's power of RUBBER STAMP to create error stamp FDC.!! And that's the reason I am confused too.!!!!
